Collaborative Biomedical Research Program

The Baystate/UMass Collaborative Biomedical Research (CBR) Program awards grants for promising research projects that include Co-Principal Investigators from the two institutions. The purpose is to enhance collaborative research relationships between Baystate Medical Center clinicians and the University of Massachusetts basic science faculty.

The program provides seed funds for developing collaborations and obtaining publishable, preliminary data that will guide and strengthen subsequent full research applications to federal or national-level funding agencies.
